1200s – Fictional Kingdom

When Prince Gareth of Acuniel accepted orders to bring aid to a neighboring ally, he saw it only as a chance to prove himself a worthy replacement for his errant brother.

Yet Lady Rienna, shackled by secrets and mistrust, has no interest in a romance.

Heartbroken by her rejection, Gareth returns home, ready to put the matter behind him. But his homecoming is far different than expected, and only serves to deepen his wounds.

Nearly a year later, Gareth once again finds himself riding to the Kingdom of Linton’s aid–and this time, the stakes are much higher. Faced with conquering a city in order to prevent Rienna from being given to an abusive man, Gareth knows he must do everything possible to succeed. Rienna may not love him… But how could he ever forgive himself if he left her to such a fate?

Science has always been her haven…until a secret expedition proves more dangerous than she bargained for.

Lady Elise Stanton loves the Lord, her family, science, and William Degraf. William was always around to help with her experiments—at least, until she reached marriageable age. Unable to convince him that it is not a noble bloodline that makes a man worthy, but a noble heart, she turns to science to soothe her disappointment. She’s admitted to the School of Scientifica in London, far from her home at Brighton Castle. She’s eager to join a scientific expedition intent on tracking down a large meteorite strike. The hope is their study will unlock secrets of the universe, which will help mankind. Superstitions and fear surrounding the stones threaten the expedition. As dangers mount, William’s unexpected arrival could be the answer to her prayers…or the harbinger of more peril to come.

William Degraf chooses to join the king’s army to escape the growing secret love he has for Lady Elise. He is a low-born innkeeper’s son and not worthy to marry a lady of noble blood. His plan is to rise in ranks and one day earn great honors to declare for her hand. That hope is shattered when he loses his right leg in battle while saving his best friend from the enemy’s lance. When he receives information that a group of assassins have been hired to kill the king and all with noble blood, he must warn Elise and her family. Can he reach Elise in time to protect her from danger, then stand aside and watch her marry another?
